The problems of society result less from an intrinsic "evil" in human nature than from our failure to stop repeating behavior patterns from the past. Change, says Virginia Satir, begins with learning to accept and understand the many parts of oneself.

Further, Frankl makes a plea for self-transcendence; that is, the "intentional" life, directed to creating future meaning. He contends that life is unconditionally meaningful, and in discussing the family, he argues that love alone allows us to grasp the uniqueness of another. Frankl offers the exquisitely simple and complex truth that meaning can be gained though love, which as a force, is as strong as death. This powerful lecture is appropriate for all listeners, professional and lay. Excellent industrial-grade video with exceptionally clear audio.

The real couples in Loving Sexuality reflect the very real issues that so many couples face after being together for months, years, or decades.
In this new video, Pat Love, author of the bestselling Hot Monogamy, offers a slew of great ideas on how to reignite the sexual dimension of your relationship. And dimension is key according to Dr. Love, who explains that a fulfilling sexual life -- however it is defined -- encompasses four essential ingredients: consciousness, chemistry, compatibility, and commitment.
Within each of the "4 C's," there are multiple levels of exploration and discovery, which are clarified through a series of thought-provoking -- and feeling-provoking -- activities. Dr. Love's intention is to provide a safe place for couples to create positive change.
Loving Sexuality teaches essential skills for an enriched and enduring relationship. It looks at the delicate area of sexual interaction in a clear but gentle way, and provides practical strategies for partners to enhance their pleasure in each other across all dimensions.

He tells of personal contacts with Freud and Adler and contrasts his existential orientation with their theories. Frankl discusses cycles that perpetuate anxiety and outlines his method of paradoxical intention, which harnesses respectful humor to promote change.
In Part Two, Frankl goes on to consider the existential vacuum that is composed of boredom (lack of interest) and apathy (lack of initiative): In essence, people have the means to live, but do not have the meaning for which to live. Noogenic neuroses, those that are a result of a lack of meaning, require logotherapy. In Frankl's unique words, "The harvest of our lives is the love that we love; the suffering we surmount with courage and dignity."
These engaging lectures are appropriate for psychotherapists of all persuasions and levels of experience. This is an excellent industrial-grade, two-camera video with exceptionally clear audio.

Irvin D. Yalom, M.D., a professor of psychiatry at Stanford University, is author of the novel, When Nietzsche Wept. Yalom describes his novel as highlighting the existential issues of human consciousness which are the basis of his own therapeutic approach. The soul-searching, self-examination of the philosopher is contrasted with the methodical approach of a reknowned physician and pioneer psychotherapist.
